Fascinating discussion on @BBCNews just now with @JohnRentoul on whether Labour should accept it is the party of professionals and graduates and wait for demographics to go its way. But as @Dannythefink said in a great col this week, eventually is a long time in politics..

Do watch - a really remarkable statement of intentions just ahead of Hungary’s controversial EU presidency (and European elections). These points stood out: Hungary doesn’t think any people in senior EU posts deserve another term…

From Martin Wolf, on the US-shaped rules of the post WWII world: “We (the West) have not followed the rules we created. I like the definition of our interest, our values. The hypocrisy is unbearable”.

The 12th it is, then #generalelection2019 . We’ll never know what wd have happened if the Govt had kept trying to get the #WAB through. I still think that wd have been less risky. This election is now about how many votes the Brexit party takes off Conservatives

The markets, already roiled by Kwasi Kwarteng's mini-budget, would take an even dimmer view of the UK's finances were it to become embroiled in a trade war with the EU, writes @bronwenmaddox .
